Llama badge

Llama badge is a popular badge which can be exchanged freely on deviantART. They were introduced as an April Fools joke, but the feature was simply never removed due to its positive response. This is the only badge for which you can buy extras. The badge has bowtie and sunglasses available.

There are many controversies about how pointless the badge is. Some users flood it by bot automatically to get exposure.

A point-trade feature was introduced after Staff found that many people were willing to pay points in order to receive Llama badges from users. On a Deviant's Llama page, there is a feature which allows you to set a limit for how many points you want to spend and how many points you'll spend per llama (the average being one point per llama). Above this, you can also see current offers from Deviants - you are given the option to accept this trade and thus accepting the money (giving away one Llama badge).
